Greetings, I have an anoying leak from the rubber shroud and the fluid pump inlet. I have tried some silicone, lasted one day. I got a new rubber shroud, and it still leaked...Any suggestions?

Anyone?

Sometimes the glue that holds the plastic motor case together gets old and the actual motor leaks. I've been able to take the motor casing off and reseal it with a thin coat of silicone.

Maybe that will solve it.

thanks for the reply, but it is definately the male part that plugs into the tight rubber plug. i will just keep fixing it every weekend until i run out of silicone..thnx

if its a seal problem I would try putting some sort of sheath type thing over the male part to try and get a tighter fit

:dunno

any ideas on a sheath? i am spent on this one. this weekend I might coat the male part with silicone, and allow it to dry completely. then put it through the rubber.

Try Permatex Ultra Black to bond (not permanent - you could take it apart if you needed to later) the two pieces together. It works wonders on boats and I've used it to seal vacuum lines. Should work no problem.

great..thnx ... where is the best place to find it? boat marine shop or auto parts house?

Autozone has it for $3.99. just put it on one of the ends, put it together and let it sit overnight or at least a few hours. then fill it up and try again. i think it'll work.

koool...first thing saturday.....thnx

alp2, the other thing you could try is some 3M marine adhesive/sealant. This stuff is incredibly tough and i use it on every part of my boat that is in contact with salt water. it seals up that hatch beautifully. The stuff I use is 3M Marine Adhesive/Sealant 5200 Fast Cure - take your pick in black or white. You can get it at any Boat US or WestMarine. You might want to try that first, instead of Permatex. Plus, it stays pliable and rubbery. Just a thought I had this morning....Good luck

best place for the marine 5200 by 3m?

"Boat U.S." or "WestMarine" or any other boating place should have it. It is really popular in the boating world. About $10 for a big tube, $5 for a little tube.
